Greetings,

I'm treating this like a quick one but i did rework the cockroach and locust. Heres what the current rework to-do list is looking like:

  • Tardigrade

  • Scorpion duo

  • Dung beetle

  • Flea

  • Aphid

  • Rhinocerous Beetle

I changed a lot of insect sizes so keep a look out for that as well.

First off the two insects:

  • The cockroach now has a radiation field around it which applied the radiation debuff to insects doing some damage over time. It hits all the wasps in its zone at once so its good for crowd control for destruction

  • The locust no longer spawns clones on kill. Instead multiple locusts you place down flock together to make a locust swarm. They are really fun to spam, try it! Oh they are also way cheaper now.

Automation now stores items you get instead of picking random ones.

Small changes:

  • bee does less damage

  • ladybug does less damage

  • lacewing does less damage

  • Assasin bug costs more energy

  • Spider costs more energy

  • Aphid costs less

  • Dung beetle upgrades are linear

  • Crystal is now multiplied by tower level instead of wave number

  • fixed a weird bug where sometimes you needed to click twice to spawn a flying tower

  • items are more "random"

I also have a quick note

I need to update the ui tooltips for a lot of bugs and make a lot of them more descriptive and actually helpful. I will be doing this soon. The locust and cockroach info page have not been updated, i want to fix a lot more bugs beffore i start making the rest of the content i started from the last update.
